Question

frozen lake resort will rent a snowmobile for a flat fee of $35, plus $12 per hour (prorated to the nearest 15 minutes). if kaitlyn and her sister paid extacly $130 for two snowmoblies , how long did they have them

Answer 1

Hello!

Our equation for one snowmobile is shown below, where y is the total cost and x is the hours spent.

y=12x+35

Now since they got two, we will double the equation.

24x+35=130

Now we will solve for x.

24x=95
x≈4 hours

I hope this helps!
